It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Can you believe Christmas stuff has been in the stores since before Halloween? Well, I finally decided why not just jump straight into it since money is tight and I wanted to give the kids something new to do. I pulled out some left over boxes and Christmas wrapping paper I had bought on clearance last year and decided to try my hand at making a cardboard house.

While I was working on this the kids had a blast with some of the packing materials from the paper shredder box my parents had bought. My daughter made these “bumper cars” for herself and her brother and even utilized some Halloween masks a friend had given us.

I covered up the boxes with some wrapping paper to give it a festive look. Made some window frames, some Christmas presents and snowmen.
